project barn find,cosworth mondeo

[Lyons]

Seems to be quite the car in its day, great project!

I like the colour I remember a limey yellow coloured one about these parts years ago and I think it was a standard colour.

Aye used to be one sat outside Knockdene too. Lowered, tints and the twin 4 spoke RS wheels. It had a talking Clifford alarm too. Absolutely loved it.

Spoil sport

@Paul RS spoilt the standardness of it by tagging himself a Reyland Motorsport yesterday on bookface.

THREE grown men taking the time out to trail a transporter over to England in a fresh X5 with 1 digit plate to collect a Mondeo hatch didn't seem right at all.

Absolute class lads & looking forward to this one.

Nice project!

 

[J-VW]

Nice! Dad had an identical red mk1 si back in the day with diamond cut rs alloys, looked class

 

[Deckz]

Looks really well.

 

[gav525]

Class project! Doesn't look too bad for having sat so long, quick wash and it'll be good as new!

It needs a brave bit of work. There's no engine gearbag brakes and there's a lot I Want to change to put my stamp on it. Not going to go to mad with it,just going to make it a punchy road car with about 380bhp for once I'll do a proper build thread lol. Just need to gather up bits and bobs for it.

 

[Mark King]

And it's staying snot green lol

 

[Deckz]

Did you buy this off Reyland?

Is the running gear still in it? I take it the floor was modified or was it based on a 4wd model?

Why did they not start with the 4x4 version?

 

[Lyons]

Is that their escort I see on the right?

Was wondering that myself lol

Thats a seriously cool car, cant beat a Ford like. Health to drive and all that.

 

[marcusplowman]

I was pretty sure that I recognised this car from a magazine years ago..

Thats exactly what I was thinking when I saw it

Ive just realised that was your X5 that was parked beside me at the NI-BMW show

 

[Laundrymike]

Cool project, don't recall ever seeing a Mondeo that colour before...I kinda like it

 

[Mark King]

It's a vw colour. Maybe she needs bags and a stretch lol

 

[Gaz86]

It's a vw colour. Maybe she needs bags and a stretch lol

May as well put a rag in the tank and burn it then lol

Seriously cool car, not a fan of the colour mind you but I'm sure it'll probably end up being changed anyway? Loved the oldskool stuff way more than todays stuff Oldskool wins again Subscribed!
